The Cochran Firm Legal Blog

One of the core values of The Cochran Firm is that we stand for our communities and fight for those who have been hurt as a result of the negligence of others, including multinational corporations like BP. Now, as the Gulf Oil Spill continues to grow, we at the New Orleans, Louisiana office of The Cochran Firm are bending our efforts to help our fellow Louisianans and protect the environment of Louisiana.

Of course, we are talking to people who have been affected by the spill and counseling them on their legal options. The Cochran Firm has a long track record of environmental litigation. If you would like to learn more about our legal focus on this disaster, please see the website of The Environmental Law Group, a combined effort of ten of the nation's largest law firms, including The Cochran Firm.

In addition, we are coordinating donation efforts to gather Dawn dish soap for the cleanup efforts. Dish soap is used at about 1/100th strength to clean wildlife. During the first week of donations, we collected over 28 gallons of dish soap. Special Thanks to Megan Lenore who coordinated this effort.

Finally, we are also trying hard to spread updated and accurate information about the Deep Horizon disaster and its legal consequences to our neighbors in New Orleans and the rest of the Gulf Coast using our Facebook page. We have selected the articles based on their relevance to the area and where applicable provide legal commentary.

The Cochran Firm is not just lawyers, we are people committed to protecting our community and fighting for justice. If you, your loved ones, or your community has been hurt and you need a powerful ally, we are prepared to stand with you, against even multinational corporations or the government that may have contributed to your suffering.
